I spent my advertising budget on Reds' games, but unfortunately, that season they stunk worse than the aforementioned chili. After a month of living ...n Vienna sausages and stale crackers (there is no way they eat this crap in Austria!), my luck began to change.While I pondered weak and weary, sitting behind my cheap desk, looking at a Kroger ad, pricing Tuna Helper, although I can't afford tuna, suddenly I heard a tapping, of someone rapping, gently rapping at my chamber door. Cursing. Medusa looked up and saw the beautiful goddess’s angry face staring down at her and knew her fate, yet she begged forgiveness though her hopeless fate stretched out before her.The goddess of wisdom spoke her vengeance with no pity; for there is no pity in the virgin goddess’s mind that night. The betrayal of Medusa with Poseidon on her holy ground demanded the curse of the Gorgon as her punishment.“Your vanity has undone your existence as it was daughter of Gaia; you leave your beauty to me. It was the sense of a presence that I couldn't ignore. I suppose it was God — that's as good a name as any — a feeling of being loved and accepted. The sights and sounds flowed over me without any great impact as I just sat and ... revelled ... in the way I was feeling.Father Henry approached me after the service and asked how I was. He was amazingly easy to talk to and after a few minutes I agreed to have him pray for me again. I didn't hear his words. I didn't listen, because much the same. I ask the grade leader if I can take him down and she says yes. We're walking down to the bathrooms and he's holding my hand. He walks into the bathroom, but he comes right back out. "Done already?" I ask "No." He replies, "My zipper's stuck!" "All right, I'll help you." I look up and down the hall to make sure no one is coming. You see, the church has a rule that you never go into the bathroom with a child. You wait outside. I am taking a big risk just for a chance to see his.
